BEST Munich Dark

BEST Munich Dark yields intense, full-bodied beers with a pronounced malty body and a bright dark color. The special malting process results in high degrees of solution without loss of the positive sensory properties of the malt. The enzyme-rich malt can also be processed in high grain bill proportions without any problems and without compromises, mostly by reducing the mashing work in the lower temperature range.
Base malt for all dark beers, Märzen, Alt, Bock, Starkbier as well as all other dark specialty beers.
